Ed,

Definitely ship COD.  Trust no one.  There are many flaky people out there
with internet access.  I've sold and bought a number of things over the net
via COD.  It has worked without a flaw everytime.  The only bummer is that
it can take up to a month to get your money if you ship COD via UPS.  

Good Luck!
